[Person calling from phone number] (201) 273-7275 Scam!!!
6/20/2014 | FP

Posted on 06/20/2014 3:11:56 PM PDT by Focault's Pendulum

The above phone number is a scam at the very least or a phone spoofing scheme at it's worst.

If you receive a phone call from this number Do Not Answer It!

Do Not Call It! No one will answer and if it is indeed a spoofing call it's possible some one is trying to trap your info.

I have received several of these calls and no message is ever left. If you can block it on your phone do so. My service provider is conducting an investigation and will be blocking this number for me.

I made the mistake of answering it the first time.

Lastly, after an extensive reverse directory search, I have determined that the call originates from Jersey City NJ yet the person making these calls lives in California.

I have what I believe to be accurate information about this person including SS# and DL# along with DOB. I'm working to verify this.

It's a woman with an accent.

Whenever I receive a call that I don’t recognize as legit, I always hang up right away.

Hey - that's MY number. Every time I call you, you hang up on me.
What's up with that?!

It's possible someone either hacked me or hacked one of several Job Search engines I'm currently using

This came across my cell phone and the nature of the call was regarding employment.

Thanks. I don’t know how to block these nuisance calls, but list them on my contact list as NEVER ANSWER.

Another pesky number, at least here in the West, is:

919-590-0877

I have seen foreign numbers come up and no one is there. Obviously if I call back, it’s a tolled call.

I even had a call from something like 111-1111 or something

If I don’t recognize a number I just google it. There are a few sites out there that have users comment on what it is. Usually the scam sites are on them, but I don’t see this one. The best site seems to be 800notes.com

I've read recently that there's a scam out there where someone calls you and leaves no message.If you call that number back it turns out that your phone number is charged $10...$20...or more.

***

Might not even originate in California. There are some websites where you can report scam calls. Someone in one of those sites traced the call to Egypt.
